fixed idea. In the moment of realization, after all his toil and waiting, you cut the ground from under his

Heres the boy again, a-looking at me whiles I eats and drinks I see you there a many times, as plain as ever I
see you on them misty marshes. Lord strike me dead I says each time - and I goes out in the air to say it under
the open heavens - but wot, if I gets liberty and money, Ill make that boy a gentleman Great
